True, it's more of a "happy ending," but still a little twisty-misty though.

The Shawshank Redemption's twist lies in the bookkeeping.

David Lynch...he wrote and directed my favorite film, but he's not my messiah. He hasn't made anything worth a shit since 1990, well, then again, I like The Straight Story. Ladies and Gentlemen, those of you who think Gus Van Sant has been a huge disappointment, I direct your attention to one Mr. David Lynch.
